I honestly am not sure where I stand on this case. The election was entirely too close to not do a recount of Florida’s votes; however, if Florida’s votes were to be recounted, why weren’t all votes recounted then? Although the government has a way of handling situations such as these that are constitutional, I don't think it a very foolproof, efficient one and should be revised.
I strongly believe that fundraising has taken more of a front seat in politics than it should. I don’t believe that whoever has the best looking posters or campaign ads should be leading our country. It should be more of a basis of who can do the best job rebuilding the economy and getting America back on its feet. I would say something should be implemented to allow funds to be more equal amongst the candidates so they all have equal opportunity of promoting themselves with their standpoints on important issues.
I believe voter apathy has a lot to do with people being uneducated as well as people feeling as if their votes don’t really matter. I have heard from many people the phrase, “I’m just one person; my vote doesn’t make a difference,” but obviously from the percentages shown in the book it does. If many people think this way, it starts to add up. I’m not exactly sure how this could be fixed because so much is already done to promote participation.
